Sold the Progressors to a friend. Rest of the quiver stands. Looking for gear for my fiancee this season, so "probably" no new stuff for me.

Last year I had
14' Rossi Soul7
14' Fischer RC4
14' Volkl Kendo
They are all gone... The rossi's I had a warrenty issue and now have a 15' Soul7 which I will put the dukes on. The Fischers are currently for sale, as I have a pair of Non-FIS Atomic GS skis on order. The kendos belonhed to my employer. I get a new pair every other year and am due for some new skis. Those are sold and I believe will be replaced with a 15' pair.
How do many of you afford multiple sets of new gear in the same year? That is impressive. I have to spread it out.
Cheese, haven't seen you around here in a while.
I currently have 3.5 skis.
And one good Rossi soul 7. Shipping the broken ski to Rossi tomorrow, they may replace it.
Was just looking back through my post from early this season and sizing it up:
- Snowboards
- The Arbor is now a coffee table (though could easily be pulled out and ridden)
- Khyber didn't see a lot of miles, but got sweet new Karakoram bindings and will be around for awhile.
- The Inca, after 10(?) years is toast. My favorite board ever. It will carry through the season then RIP.
- The RIDE has become the 'house board' every visitor rides it. And it is my wife's rock board.
- The Salomon so no action this year. Don't know if it will ever again.
- Skis
- Huge Troubles are still in action. Love 'em. Although I'd sell them and move on if someone is looking for a ski like that.
- K2 PEs are going strong. Naxo bindings are starting to scare me. Don't know what to do there
Lots of gear going into retirement at the end of this season. Looking to load up over the summer. Planning to get a premium snowboard, and possibly some 'fun' skis (short, wide, rocker).
Snowboards
- PowderJet 157. My pride and joy for this season. I hand built it last October at the PowderJet Snowboard / Grain Surfboard shop in Maine. Beautiful minimalist hand-shaped board of local poplar. Wasn't sure if I'd ever have more fun riding it than building it, but this season certainly made it a joy to ride!! (pics below)
wow
good for you
aaaa my skis not minimalistic enough for you:grin: now you know what it takes to make a board,,,, skis lol so you was involved in the process of making it? What part did you do? Hope not the bending edges lol
nice-looking board good luck with it..... no p-tex a little too far in my book

Yup, involved in the whole process.
iirc we started with you to do same thing last October and at last minute you decide not to make aaammmm skis
everyday skis/board need p-tex as far epoxy I'm using the same kind
Anyway very happy for you
